Automatic debsums generation

Since security is on everybody's minds at the moment, I thought I should share: I wanted debsums for all of my packages, not just the ones where the package includes them. This doesn't offer protection against server-side hacks, but it's at least another bit of reassurance for a local system. If

This may be a silly question: Why is /etc/shadow in /etc? Generally, applications and static data go in /usr. You could mount /usr read-only save when installing apps, and none of the core Debian applications would break. Similarly, system-wide configuration data goes in /etc. You could mount /e

Disabling netstat

I'd like to disable netstat and similar programs for my shell users. One of my users runs a MUCK (like a MUD) and would like to protect the MUCK users' network locations from other shell users. I'm running with a 2.4 kernel with /proc, and so netstat is an unprivileged utility that merely grabs in
